Here is a press release on a 1997 University of Chicago panel on juvenile criminals featuring Bill Ayers and Barack Obama. An excerpt:

Children who kill are called “super predators,” “people with no conscience,” “feral pre-social beings” — and “adults.”
William Ayers, author of A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court (Beacon Press, 1997), says “We should call a child a child. A 13-year-old who picks up a gun isn’t suddenly an adult. We have to ask other questions: How did he get the gun? Where did it come from?”

So, how have ten-plus years of Ayers and Obama fluffiness worked in Chicago? Not too well:

A 15-year-old Chicago boy charged as an adult in the death of an 8th grader warned the boy a few days before the shooting that he was on a “death list,” prosecutors said Tuesday.
The victim, Sameere Conn, 13, was buying snacks in a corner store at East 106th Street and South Bensley Avenue about 8:15 p.m. on Oct. 1. Prosecutors said Sebastian Rodriguez fired through the front window, striking Sameere in the abdomen and both hands. A 27-year-old man was wounded in the thigh.
Cook County Circuit Judge Raymond Myles denied bail Tuesday for Rodriguez, of the 10700 block of South Hoxie Avenue, on the murder and attempted murder charges.
Friends said Sameere had been pressured to join a gang but refused. Authorities did not say if that was why he was targeted, but prosecutors alleged Rodriguez told Sameere that he was going to kill him.

The real question of this election should be: Are the people of Chicago better off today than they were eight years ago? You cannot blame George W. Bush for the failed social policies of Obama, Daley, Wright, Ayers, etc. – and these are the same failed policies that are about to return to a national stage.
